...outcome of the first Winter Meeting on Saturday was never for a moment in doubt; from first to last, with the exception of the first event, it was an utter failure. We say this not in condemnation of the men who have had the meeting in charge; they did all in their power. There was a fair number of entries and a good crowd. But the failure of the meeting was due almost entirely to the men who entered and backed out at the last minute. This is the same experience which we have had for several years. In spite...

In justice to them it should be said that they were heavily handicapped by the absence of Graves, their catcher and best all-around player. Burns, who took his place, was totally unable to hold Bowie. The battery work of Trinity was especially weak, in the first inning alone there being four passed balls, four wild pitches and three bases on balls...
